Mother Nature just doesn't want to cooperate this weekend. Yesterday it was icing. Today it is the forecasted gusty winds and potential for low level wind shear. That being said, the Greenville and Columbia stops for the fly-a-thon have been postponed. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience but safety does come first.
I will send out an email and post the date(s) when these events have been rescheduled.
Thanks for your understanding.

"Flying Hounds into Your Hearts"
Mission 16
Posted Monday, October 05, 2009 by Ted Holstein
Hound Dog One and her crew transported their second puppy yesterday (October 4, 2009). Her name was Traveler and it is a very fitting name since this was her maiden flight.
Our day started off by flying from Hilton Head, SC to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. We lifted off of our island "dog house" at 9:00am. Flight time was about an hour and 45 minutes. Once on the ground, we were greeted by Alex Vergas and Traveler. What a sweet hound Traveler is!!
Kim and I walked out to the plane with Traveler in tow; her tail wagging in excitement as she headed for Hound Dog One. We lifted off around 11:30am for the hour and a half flight to Mount Pleasant, SC. Once on the ground, we were greeted by Drew Heinold and his children. You should have seen the excitement in their faces!!
The flight back home to Hilton Head was 35 minutes. Another successful mission for Hound Dog One and her flight crew! Total distance flown was 411 miles and I logged 4.5 hours of flight time.
Enjoy the pictures!

Hound Dog One - Missions 14 & 15
Posted Saturday, October 03, 2009 by Ted Holstein
On September 29, 2009, Hound Dog One and her crew returned to the sky to transport two more CBHR hounds. At the controls was pilot Ted Holstein. My designated "Hound Handler" that day was Paul Roderick of Savannah, GA.
Our day started early (even earlier for Paul due to his drive to Hilton Head) as we lifted off shortly after 7:30am. It was a beautiful day for flying (though a little windy which caused quite a bit of turbulence). Our first leg was to Anderson, SC to pick up Kelly Girl and this leg was an hour and 55 minutes long.
We were delayed a bit once on the ground in Anderson, SC due to their fuel truck being out of service AND their self fueling being broken. I'll keep my opinions to myself. :-) After getting fuel, Paul loaded up Kelly Girl and off we went, this time heading to Asheboro, NC...about an hour and a half of flight time. This leg was a bit more challenging since the strong winds blowing over the Appalachians were causing "mountain waves", causing us to bob in the air just like you would in the ocean if you were floating on the surface as the waves come in. Kelly Girl didn't seem to mind, after all, she was flying first class!
After delivering Kelly Girl to The Antoniou's in Asheboro, NC, Paul and I headed for Conway, SC...just west of Myrtle Beach, SC...about an hour long flight. There, we picked up Sallie Mae. She was headed down to Mount Pleasant, SC so her flight was going to be short...only 40 minutes. She didn't mind though as she climbed onto the back seat and enjoyed the beautiful flight down the coast.
We arrived in Mount Pleasant, SC and Sallie Mae's transportation was awaiting her. I'm sure she felt like a celebrity! Her transportation whisked her away and Paul and I were thrilled that we could be a part of the Hound Dog One/CBHR transport network as Missions 14 & 15 were a complete success.
We boarded HD1 and headed home. Total distance flown was approximately 587 miles and I logged 7 hours of flight time.
Enjoy the photos.

Hound Dog Two Rescues Blue
Posted Thursday, September 17, 2009 by Ted Holstein
Early this morning, I drove to the Colleton County Animal Shelter in Walterboro, SC to rescue a one year old Basset Hound named Blue. Since this transport was done in my SUV (Hound Dog Two), I'm not counting it as an official HD1 mission.
Blue is a sweet boy and he thoroughly enjoyed the drive back to the Bluffton area of South Carolina. After roaming the back seat for a few minutes he ended up in the front passenger seat and enjoyed the petting her received for the hour and 15 minute drive back. He tried so hard to sit on my lap and actually succeeded with a half mile to go! :-)
Blue is being fostered at Camp Green Dog and he loves playing with the other dogs there. He should have no problem finding a forever home!

Winston-Salem Air Show
Posted Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Ted Holstein
Hound Dog One and her crew finished out their inaugural air show season this past weekend up in Winston-Salem, NC. We certainly look forward to the air show season in 2010!
We saw a lot of interest in CBHR and HD1 over the weekend as our volunteers put on their HD1 shirts and CBHR clothing to get the word out. We passed out many adoption applications and made $100 in donations during the two day event. Even CBHR's mascot, Chance, showed up and drew quite a crowd!!
I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time this past weekend to help HD1 and her crew out. It was warm and we were all worn out but I think we made an impact in that area for CBHR.
